ICWA 2050 Launched by NICWA To Honor Anniversary | UTAH ICWA | NORTH DAKOTA GOVERNOR Nomination to DOI

 

PORTLAND, OR – Recently, the National Indian Child Welfare Association’s (NICWA) Protect ICWA Campaign released ICWA 2050, a 25-year strategy to strengthen the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) and tribal child welfare.  Honoring the 46th anniversary of ICWA, ICWA 2050 casts a vision that recognizes and upholds the critical role that tribal nations play in protecting Native children, helping families in tribal child welfare systems and assisting states as they implement ICWA.

ICWA 2050 outlines a uniting vision spanning decades and sectors. It represents a holistic vision and approach to changing the interrelated systems that protect Native kids for generations to come. Achieving that vision will require work across and within many sectors, from the courtroom to the newsroom. Each goal has a powerful impact on the cultural fabric we are weaving back together to create nurturing networks for Native children, including:

  • Increasing tribal child welfare capacity to ensure the best care for Native children within their communities.
  • Improving outcomes in state child welfare systems by strengthening relationships between tribal and state governments and improving tribal advocacy.
  • Enhancing tribal-federal partnerships to ensure federal policy supports tribal sovereignty and the well-being of Native children.
  • Improving communication about ICWA as the gold standard of child welfare policy and emphasize the importance of honoring tribal sovereignty.

“ICWA 2050 is a collective effort guided by Indian Country, including tribal leadership across all regions of the United States and the technical expertise of tribal child welfare directors,” said Sarah Kastelic, National Indian Child Welfare Association Executive Director. “We are inspired by the collaboration and shared vision that shaped this effort. ICWA 2050 represents a commitment to one generation of work that can change the trajectory of many generations of Native children.”

“ICWA 2050 not only fortifies protections for Native children today, but also builds a path for generations to come, ensuring that our children remain grounded in their cultures and communities,” said Larry Wright, Jr., National Congress of American Indians Executive Director. “This forward-looking strategy reflects the strength of tribal sovereignty and collaboration across Indian Country, empowering tribal nations to lead in defining the future of child welfare for Native families. The National Congress of American Indians and its members are proud to support and join this vision, rooted in the resilience and self-determination of our communities.”

“ICWA 2050 offers a powerful vision to strengthen and protect ICWA, ensuring that Native children remain deeply connected to their cultures and Nations,” said Kim Mettler, Association on American Indian Affairs Next Generations Director. “By supporting ICWA 2050, we help affirm and protect the fundamental human rights of every Native child – to family, cultural identity, freedom from forced assimilation, and the right to self-determination. ICWA 2050 is an investment in our shared future.”

👉Donald Trump to nominate North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum for Secretary of Interior

Known as an independent-minded Republican for much of his tenure as governor, Burgum has since embraced Trump's hardline rhetoric and MAGA Republicanism. Trump included Burgum on his final short list as vice president before picking JD Vance.

Burgum's second term as governor ends next month when Gov.-elect Kelly Armstrong, a GOP congressman, is sworn in.

Born and raised in the tiny farm town of Arthur, North Dakota, with a population of 328, Burgum in 1983 mortgaged farmland he inherited from his family to invest in Fargo-based Great Plains Software. He became the company's president the next year, and by 2001 sold the company to Microsoft for $1.1 billion. At Microsoft, Burgum worked as senior vice president through 2007.

Today, Burgum has a net worth of more than $100 million, according to Forbes magazine. Burgum is the founder of Kilbourne Group, a Fargo-based real estate firm, and is co-founder of Arthur Ventures, a software venture capital firm based in Minneapolis. He is also board chairman of Atlassian and SuccessFactors.

As governor, Burgum took steps to improve relations with the state's native tribes. That includes signing legislation codifying the federal Indian Child Welfare Act to give preference to Native American families in the adoption of native children.

ADOPTION TRUTH

As the single largest unregulated industry in the United States, adoption is viewed as a benevolent action that results in the formation of “forever families.”
The truth is that it is a very lucrative business with a known sales pitch. With profits last estimated at over $1.44 billion dollars a year, mothers who consider adoption for their babies need to be very aware that all of this promotion clouds the facts and only though independent research can they get an accurate account of what life might be like for both them and their child after signing the adoption paperwork.
